#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October13 #BirthdayCohort with #AlexandriaOcasioCortez @AOC & @SachaBaronCohen & ... You?) on #Navy Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @WallPapersWide #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

Holidays Calendar explains our celebration of the United States' Sea-Going Military in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better.
